# n8n Slideshows & Carousels

## CREATE VISUAL Node (Recommended)

Use the Blotato CREATE VISUAL node to generate carousels and slideshows from templates:

1. Add a Blotato node and select "Visual" > "Create"
2. Select a template from the dropdown list
3. Keep default inputs and click Execute to instantly make a carousel
4. Update inputs one-by-one to customize
5. Check the [API Dashboard](https://my.blotato.com/api-dashboard) to see the JSON payload for each template

Tip: Browse all available templates at <https://my.blotato.com/videos/new> to see how they work before building your automation.

Here's the n8n template:

### How do you create carousels and slideshows with your own images and videos?

You don't need to use Blotato's AI generated images for your slideshow. You can use any images that have a publicly accessible URL.

Open the PUBLISH TO INSTAGRAM/TIKTOK steps. Submit a `mediaUrls` array that contains your final images for the carousel. You can pass any publicly accessible image/video URL directly - no upload step required.

I recommend switching to the n8n/Make official Blotato nodes. Much easier instead of fiddling with JSON. Check out this tutorial and template:
